Phoebe is an old soul.
I don’t mean that in the “she likes to nap a lot” kind of way. Although, let’s face it, she certainly doesn’t turn down a good nap. I mean there is something behind those beautiful eyes that makes me believe she has been here before. Possibly several times. And I’m pretty sure in at least one of those lives she was a therapist.
Phoebe has never been a lap dog. She has boundaries. She does, however, need to be next to you at all times. There is a difference. If I move from one room to another, Phoebe moves. If I sit down, she settles nearby. Close enough to know exactly what is happening, but far enough away to maintain her independence.
And then there are the conversations.
Somehow Phoebe inserts herself into them like a treasured old friend. She doesn’t interrupt. She doesn’t bark. She just…joins us. She looks from one person to the next, listening so intently that I sometimes forget she has absolutely no idea what we are saying.
Or does she?
Because those eyes. Those beautiful, soulful eyes can look straight through you. Tell Phoebe something and she will stare back as if she understands every single word. Your good days. Your bad days. Your worries. Your secrets. She takes it all in and, thankfully, has never repeated a thing.
She is fiercely protective of the people she loves. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons she and I understand each other so well. We love hard. We protect harder. And we like to keep our people close.
She is our shadow. Our protector. Our confidante. Our treasured friend.
And sometimes, when those beautiful brown eyes lock onto mine, I swear she isn’t looking at me at all. She’s looking right into my soul. And somehow, I think she knows exactly what she sees. ❤️
